Thanks Tim, these are great!
I was 15/16 when 2-step was getting into the charts. I was in that kinda-indie-by-default demographic at the time but remember just thinking 'fuck this shit' as someone tried to make me listen to Travis or whatever instead of Sweet like chocolate. Heavily nostalgia-fuelled, obv, but this is such a musical golden period for me.
(PS HELLO, I'm new)

P.S. Hi oppet!

Sweet like Chocolate and Re-Rewind were some of my first musical memories. My sister gave me a few really good mix cassettes. 2-step was a solitary experience for me, my schoolmates were all into Bonkers CDs

At the moment I have a real curiosity about those really dewy but still chewy sentimentalist end-of-night 2-step classix - a curiosity as in I'm trying to get to the bottom of how they actually work (on me) - have always loved them obv. Check:
Selena vs X-Men - Give It UpZoom & DBX - Comin' AgainRichie Dan & K Warren - Call It Fate (Underground Mix)
Will post youtube links later.

I love these three tracks so much, really end-of-night tunes, there's this feel of bittersweet camaraderie to them, like, we're sad that the night's ending but it's been an amazing ride.
Sort of the equivalent of Jam & Lewis and similar sentimentalist R&B tunes from the beginning of the 00s (which I've also been listening to heaps of late) - Janet's "All 4 U", Mya's "Free", Chante Moore's "Straight Up", which I think are similar dancefloor uniters with the same kind of dynamic.

An excellent, perhaps unbeatable documents of uk garage circa 2001. Again, disc two (forthcoming) is prob my favourite but this has some all time classics for me - Bump & Flex's dub of "All I Do", K2 Family's "Bouncing Flow", Dubaholics' "Closer To You" and above all London Dodgers' astonishing "Down Down Biznizz"...
― Tim F, Monday, 31 January 2011 13:41 (thirteen years ago) link
what i really really want are unmixed versions of all the 2-step hits - i have many mixes with them already. both 2-step and grime could really use some decent curation.

Here you go Lex, stumbled across a full copy of this pretty rare Bump & Flex Bassbin Killa Dub of Rosie Gaines "I Want You", which I've always loved - demonstrates yet again that Bump & Flex is the great unheralded beat master that Zed Bias/El-B et. al. fans ignore at their peril.

My very first 2-step compilation, picked it up in about mid-1999 and fair to say it changed my life. Actually from 1997 and right on the cusp of speed garage into 2-step and pretty fucking seminal IMO - from the delicious bumpiness of tracks 1, 2, 6 and 10 to the booming massiveness of 13 to the overloaded ridiculousness of 14 to the can't fuck with anthemism of 15 to the yet-another-best-track-in-history gorgeousness of 16 (that 4 track run is basically the finest run of music ever perhaps).

oh man my fav jam finally made it to youtube ... i spent way too much getting a vinyl copy of the 1st sound of the pirates (all the tracks on it were unmixed) so I could get this... it didnt exist on mp3 as far as I could tell!! the only way you could get it was the clipped 3 minute mixed version from the pirates CD, which missed out on the awesome instrumental part in the 2nd half of the song. I like this so much more than the rdj original. so amazing
